About this template

What is this template?

This is a statutory-style form used in India to document the resolution of labor conflicts. It is not a standard commercial contract but a filing that requires distribution to the Assistant, Regional, and Chief Labour Commissioners. It contains specific signature blocks for a Conciliation Officer or a Board of Conciliation.

When should you use it?

Use this form when an employer and employees have reached an agreement to end an industrial action or dispute in India. Use a standard Settlement Agreement if the dispute is a private civil matter not involving industrial labor law or the Ministry of Labour.
